The Two Thrones Representing the Kingdoms of Grace and of Glory

16/23

THE GOSPEL NET

“Again the kingdom of Heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind; which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world; the angels shall come forth and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” Verse 47-50. This parable shows that although both good and bad men may be gathered by the gospel and remain in apparent union for a time, as was the case with Judas and the eleven, the final separation will come that will declare the true character of all.
